Exploring the AI Attack Surface: Key Methods #2
Let's map out the AI attack surface!
Hey everyone! 🚀
Excited to dive into the fascinating world of AI and cybersecurity attacks. Let’s break down some key attack methods and components to keep an eye on. This isn’t a complete list but gives you an idea of the vast field of attacking and defending these systems.
🔍 Attack Methods:
1. Prompt Injection: Use your knowledge of backend or AI systems to construct input that makes the system do something unintended. Examples include:
- Bypassing system prompts
- Executing unintended code
- Pivoting to other backend systems
2. Training Attacks: Poison the training data to make the model produce worse or attacker-positive outcomes. Examples include:
- Injecting biased content
- Manipulating outcomes to favor certain solutions
🔧 Attack Categories:
Agents:
- Alter agent routing
- Send commands to undefined systems
Tools:
- Execute arbitrary commands
- Pass through injection on connected tool systems
- Code execution on agent systems
Storage:
- Attack embedding databases
- Extract sensitive data
- Modify embedding data for tampered model results
Models:
- Bypass model protections
- Force the model to exhibit bias
- Extract other users’ or backend data
- Force the model to exhibit intolerant behavior
- Poison other users’ results
- Disrupt model trust/reliability
- Access unpublished models
Understanding these attack vectors is crucial for anyone interested in the field of AI and cybersecurity. Let’s stay vigilant and keep learning!
